Introduction

This tendering procedures and bid evaluation training will examine all the inputs influencing and directly impacting tendering procedures and bid evaluation. The key elements include understanding the business needs, market analysis, supply chain cost modeling, contracting strategy, and contract award up to and including contract initiation.

The tendering procedures and bid evaluation conference introduce a methodology for classifying an organization's third-party goods or services based on supply risk to spend value. Then, a methodology will be introduced to help assign the best-fit market approach to a particular category or sub-category. All of these will lead to the best-fit tendering procedures and bid evaluation.

When should we play it safe by only allowing experienced and proven suppliers to bid? When and how can we develop new suppliers? What is a fit-for-purpose supplier selection process? How best to master tender negotiation? How do you handle (or avoid) contract award disputes? How do we meet the increasingly aggressive local content requirements in developing countries? What is the unwanted by-product of chasing for localization targets?
